OPERS is in the process of establishing a strategic business intelligence and analytics program that will enable Business Intelligence analysts throughout the organization access to information products and datasets for analysis and decision-making. Podium, from Podium Data, has been selected for the data management platform. The Podium platform will be used to manage data curation including ingestion, cleansing, enrichment, and for the overall management of the data marketplace. The data marketplace will integrate with Tableau Desktop and Tableau Server to support business analysts and information consumer needs.

OPERS seeks to engage a consultant to develop a comprehensive and integrated Communications Strategy(ies) for the retirement system and an executable work plan to carry out this strategy(ies) throughout 2018.
